      Nice job to these players, but you made a small booboo regarding VGC. When you discussed how Scizor couldn’t cut it in 2017, you showed Mega Scizor, which is incorrect since Mega Stones were banned in 2017. Just thought I’d let you know. Great video regardless!

    Update for how Scizor is in current gen 9: Incredible.
    Imagine adaptability technician Scizor without the weaknesses of bug type while still having stab U-turn. That's what Scizor has right now, it's easily one of the best terra mons in the game. You terra steel and if your running adamant choice band, your bullet punch literally does minimums of roughly 80% to neutral targets, and just kills after rocks and spikes. Oh and don't even get me started on if you get an SD up, game over.

      What it means is that now I have a new solid contender for "most useless thing I know".
      The current champion is that in Borderlands 2, there is an unobtainable prefix for Jakobs pistols called "pepperbox". These weapons have increased rate of fire but low stats otherwise. But since all Jakobs pistols are semi-auto, the written rate of fire on the item card is almost meaningless, and you can get a Jakobs pistol with a rate of fire above the highest the game's engine can handle anyway, without the "pepperbox" prefix. So even if you hacked one in, it would be clearly outclassed by every similar gun in the game.

    Scizor looks like an armored robot bug designed for warfare. From its armor's menacing red color scheme (red is often symbolized for war), its pincers designed to both scare and seriously hurt its opponents, to its wings giving it some flight capabilities, yet often used for cooling purposes. It's Mega Evolution jacked up Scizor's combat prowess: its pincers looked like mini gators (eye-like hinge and serrated jaws), an intimidating armor upgrade, and blade-like legs.
    Seriously, Scizor always looks like it's going to the front lines.

    I'll always love Scizor, Scyther was the first shiny Pokemon I ever caught and it was in HeartGold at the national park. I was lucky enough to get him with an adamant nature, technician as his ability as well as a perfect attack IV (I found out much later)
    I've transferred him up from each generation up until Omega Ruby, the last Pokemon game I've owned and I've used him on every team I've made.
    Loved the video, Scizor always holds a very special place to me in my heart.

But the metal Coat is a pain for me, trying to get Magnemite with Metal Coat but it doesn't have the coat. So I waited until when I board the S.S Anne. Finally I traded with myself with two GBCs and bam. I got Scizor.

    As someone who was playing competitive when Platinum came out, banded bullet punch scizor was insane.

    Would love to see Gyrados get the remastered treatment like Dragonite and now Scizor!

    Oh yeah, I forgot how good Technician was before it got basically removed in Gen 8, what with the removal of Scizor, Breloom, and Hidden Power.

    It's been a while since I've tuned in and i gotta say, your energy has gotten so great compared to your usual level of enthusiasm, and I kinda love it. Kudos~

    In Diamond, Magnezone was often run as a steel trapper with choice scarf for HP Fire OHKO on Scizor. iirc it was an important part of one of the top curselax teams

    How GREAT was Starmie Actually?
    Your old video doesn't give starmie enough time given its impact on the metagame of many generations. You have talked about it in so many videos but its video barely talks about it.

    ‘Hey, which Pokemon should get mega evolutions?’
    ‘How about the ones that need stat buffs?’
    ‘Let’s give them to the Pokemon who are already broken’
    ‘Yeah sure’

    I never played competitively, but used Scizor in my HG playthrough as one of my mains and he absolutely wrecked everything in that game.

    Bug Type is so generally bad because they poured all of their energy and power into Scizor, like Goku's Spirit Bomb

    Scizor before Platinum: Some people think they can outspeed me. Maybe...maybe.
    Scizor after Platinum: I’ve yet to meet one that can outspeed bullet...
